How long will it take to activate my Salt Fiber Box?

The activation of your optical fiber connection is a complex process and may require the intervention of a specialist. Hence, it can take up to 7 weeks.

If the plug exists in your premises, the installation can be faster and is normally around 20 working days.

During your order, please provide us with your OTO ID, in order to speed up your installation process.

What is an OTO ID and where do I find it?

OTO stands for Optical Telecommunication Outlet. It’s the name given to the fiber connection installed in your home. The number assigned to this connection – the OTO ID – is unique and allows to identify it precisely. In order to activate your fiber connection, we need to know the OTO ID assigned to your home.

If your home is already connected to the optical fiber network, you should normally also have an optical telecommunication outlet (OTO). If you are not sure whether this plug exists, your building management or the previous tenant should be able to provide this information.

YOUR OTO is usually located in the living room, next to the main telephone outlet. Your OTO ID corresponds to the number printed on the outlet. As a rule, the OTO ID begins with A or B and uses the following format: A.XXX.XXX.XXX.X.

Important: Not all households have an optical fiber outlet. It might therefore be necessary to install one. If this should be you case, please specify so when ordering and we’ll send an electrician to install one for you.
